Cryogenics - the science that addresses the production, effects and maintenance of very low temperatures - underpins a range of enabling technologies that impact our daily lives in ways that are not immediately apparent. As such, cryogenic systems play that enabling role across many diverse sectors - food processing, healthcare, energy, science and space - with new applications being added via expanding market penetration of superconducting and quantum technologies. Current specialist textbooks are skewed towards laboratory-based applications of cryogenics in frontline scientific research. As a consequence, analysis and guidance is lacking when it comes to the real-world deployment of cryogenic technologies in an industrial/commercial context. This book seeks to address that user need by providing a practical, hands-on reference source to promote exploitation and innovation in all areas of cryogenic science and technology.
The book is a broad-interest text that enables the scientific and industrial reader to gain an introduction to the fundamental principles of cryogenics. The core content prioritises practical, hands-on advice to support the use of enabling cryogenic technologies in a range of scientific/industrial applications. Detailed references allow specialist study around topics of interest.
